Thanks to the collaboration with the Spanish company Giave(manufacturers of machinery for printing and converting packaging), the innovative cast MOPE (mono-oriented polyethylene) film produced on COLINES‘ latest generation lines will be showcased at the upcoming prestigious DRUPA fair in Dusseldorf.
The 26-micron film was obtained with a stretch ratio of 4.2:1 and is unique worldwide: cast technology boasts excellent optical and mechanical properties to MOPE film and is ideal for both printing and lamination. Giave used their machine to print the film in 5 colors with Flint’s UV LED inks at a speed of 400 m/min using internal printing mode. The printing process showed excellent results and did not require a refresh of the corona treatment.
“Mono oriented PE film is commonly produced with blown extrusion technology,” says Nicola Lombardini, COLINES‘ R&D Manager “but the so-extruded film has some limits. For instance, blown MOPE film doesn’t have good haze & gloss, which is something easily achieved with cast extrusion technology. Additionally, the possibility of having one side of the film with good sealability is game-changer factor of cast technology. This means that cast MOPE film can be potentially suitable for a very huge market, as it could replace some existing products like BOPET, guaranteeing both higher recyclability and extreme downgauging“.
Don’t miss the opportunity: visit booth C10 in Hall 15 to view samples of the MOPE film extruded by COLINES‘ and printed by Giave.
